whatya think? the first pair have to be taken apart and the articulation needs to be improved in teh fingers. but for 50 bucks... the second pair dont look too bad do they? going for 1470s look. for LH steel and waster work, not sca

reason i ask is i REALLY need hand protection. one slip and my work could be in danger for everyone working for me. and i cant wait a year for personal orders from most armourers

Both gauntlets are being sold by power sellers on EBay. This tells me they have a large stock. If you go to the seller (Kingslance) page, he has other links to other armour items he is also pushing. One is a gauntlet for $17.00 at finger gauntlet

It is possible you can contact him direct.

Or you can give the minimum bid on his 'other' pair of mitten gauntlets at

They are decent looking. The style of mitton gauntlet is 1480's at earliest though.
